Kodi Smit-McPhee Finds 'Birder's Guide to Everything' in First Trailer

Later this year, we'll see a much more grown up Kodi Smit-McPhee (Let Me In, ParaNorman) trying to survive in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, but before then, audiences can see the teenage actor in some lighter fare. After premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival last year, the coming-of-age story A Birder's Guide to Everything is coming to theaters this spring, and the first trailer is here. The story follows a teen boy (Smit-McPhee) who goes on a secret bird watching road trip, believing a historical birdwatching discovery is in his midst. While on the road, he ends up getting some help from Ben Kingsley. Watch now!

Here's the first trailer for Rob Meyer's A Birder's Guide to Everything, originally from Apple:

A Birder's Guide to Everything is directed by Rob Meyer (a wildlife filmmaker from NOVA and National Geographic), who co-wrote the script with Luke Matheny ("Maron"). David Portnoy (Kodi Smit-McPhee of Let Me In and ParaNorman), a 15-year-old birding fanatic, thinks that he's made the discovery of a lifetime. So, on the eve of his father's remarriage, he escapes on an epic road trip with his best friends to solidify their place in birding history. Ben Kingsley, James Le Gros, Alex Wolff, and Ethan Cohn also star in the film which Screen Media Films releases on VOD March 11th and in limited theaters March 21st. Interested?
